Haircut moon calendar: basics

Waxing and waning Moon

Waxing Moon: hair is commonly said to grow faster.

Waning Moon: hair grows more slowly; the style is thought to hold longer.

Favourable lunar days

On this site lunar days 5, 6, 8, 11, 13, 14, 19, 21, 22, 27 and 28 are treated as especially favourable.

Unfavourable lunar days

Unfavourable here: lunar days 9, 15 and 29.

Moon sign

The Moon’s sign matters too. Traditionally favourable for a cut: Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Libra and Capricorn — hair is said to respond better to care and keep its shape longer.

Less favourable when the Moon is in Cancer or Pisces — signs linked with sensitivity and instability that some traditions associate with weaker haircut outcomes.

Solar and lunar eclipses

Days with a solar or lunar eclipse are also treated as unfavourable — regardless of phase and sign.

Simple rule of thumb

To keep it simple: pick waxing Moon, a favourable day from the list, and a supportive sign — that covers the main use of this calendar.

FAQ

Why is the waxing Moon emphasised?

In this logic hair is thought to grow faster in the waxing phase; the list of favourable lunar days and signs adds context.

Why do times differ by region?

Transitions are computed for your location, so sign changes and segments can shift with coordinates and time zone.
